Mayo Laboratory

The CFNM enjoys full access to the Mayo laboratory in Rochester, MN. The CFNM uses the Mayo laboratory to give patients access to specialized testing not available in Manitoba. Part of the mandate of the CFNM is to give patients the highest standard of care including access to the most sophisticated laboratory testing. For example, in the treatment of Lyme disease, when patients are taking high dose antibiotics, the Mayo laboratory is used to test the peak amoxicillin levels to confirm that therapeutic levels of antibiotic are reaching the central nervous system.
